Thank you for sharing your feedback. It is regrettable that you left Dataminr with that impression. This review does not comport with our values and mischaracterizes our Dataminr community. In our last employee engagement survey, the overwhelming majority of employees reported that they are proud to work for Dataminr. We take all allegations of bullying and harassment very seriously. We fully support any employee who feels the need to make a report, and we have a robust process for doing so. If there are ever any concerns, the People team is always available at HR@dataminr.com.

Clueless management, intelligent colleagues

Business Outlook

Pros

Before the 2020 layoffs, the Domain Expert team was a fascinating collection of intellectually curious people who are polyglots, experts in all fields of knowledge, and keen observers of global situations. The company has since moved in a different direction.

Cons

Management obsessed over employee survey results without taking substantial action or making lasting changes. They also lied about building a “career path” before laying off a good chunk of us all at once.

Thank you for your review. Our Domain Expert team is still a fascinating collection of people with varied backgrounds and experiences that are vital to what we do. Dataminr is a fast-growing company and like all businesses, sometimes we have to make extremely difficult decisions which we never take lightly. Our investment in the career development of our people is on-going. We are proud of the career paths that we have created, and are pleased to see them being leveraged as part of Dataminr's bi-annual review process and Individual Development Plan (IDP) conversations. It is absolutely our intention to share our growth journey with as many people as possible.

Pros

Colleagues are a great group of people- intelligent, passionate and friendly. Benefits are really good, with healthcare and dental care covered. The work is varied with lots of opportunities to try your hand in different areas and pick up new skills

Cons

Work hours are less social than the standard 9-5, including weekend work. Senior leadership seems very disconnected from general employees
